multilanguage blog / roller 5

[Michael Müller <mi...@mueller-bruehl.de>]

Hello together,

I checked the multilanguage box and wrote some articles in different 
langages.
All articles had been available in my blog. Next, I checked "publish in 
blog language" and only those articles in the desired language would be 
displayed supressing all others. I created a new blog in an other 
langage. Non articles of my first blog are available, even though I 
wrote some in the language of the new blog. By now, I don't understand 
the intention of these multilingual boxes.

Why does it make sense to create articles in different langagues and 
then hide all wich are not of the language I set up in my blog? How to 
dislay the other languages?

What I like to do is to write articles in different languages and then 
select (display) only articles of the language the user (not the owener 
of the blog) has choosen. E.g. a user from the UK or US may get English 
articles whilst a user of Germany gets German articles. Much better 
would be to link articles together, saying this is the same content, but 
a different language.

By now, I have the ability to realise this using word press (e.g. 
http://blog.mueller-bruehl.de/en/programming/tutorial-web-development-with-jsf-v-scene-change/ 
which is part of my English/German JSF tutorial). Is ther any way to 
realise such a behavior with roller as is? Or do I have to modify the code?

Best,

Michael

I discovered this yesterday. But....

*optionally* make a weblog render in only one language at a time.

This is a good idea. If the user is able to choose the lang. Either by 
his default system or browser language or by providing buttons to select 
a language

we will add a property to the weblog settings page allowing the weblog 
owner to specify if they wish to enable multi-language blogging or not. 
by default this option will be off, which means that a blog homepage and 
archives will show all entries in all languages. when the multi-language 
blogging option is on then the weblog homepage and archives pages will 
show entries from only one language at a time.

What is the benefit of such a solution?

Yes, would could use better docs around that feature.

The multi-language blog feature was included in Roller 3.0 based on
requirements from blogs.sun.com, here is the original proposal:
